Zhang Zhizhong was once a majestic general, and at home, he was a dutiful husband who was full of love for his wife, Hong Xihou. Although Hong Xihou is not a lady, the marriage between the two is very happy.
However, after 1966, Zhang Zhizhong's life became difficult. One day, some people suddenly broke into his home and asked, "Are you Zhang Zhizhong?" ”
Zhang Zhizhong replied firmly: "Yes." "Then, he was taken away.
Zhang Zhizhong stood up tremblingly from his chair, his heart full of anger. Looking at the chaos in the home, his wife Hong Xihou silently cleaned up the house, but the pain in the Zhang Zhi Center was indescribable.
**When the prime minister learned what happened to Zhang Zhizhong's family, he was very angry and said that he would protect Zhang Zhizhong's family and let them live a stable life. However, Zhang Zhizhong's physical condition is getting worse and worse, and Hong Xihou has been taking care of him and the children meticulously.
In 1968, Zhang Zhizhong's illness became increasingly serious, and he finally wrote a will on October 17, when he was seriously ill.
Zhang Zhizhong, an old man with an important place in China's modern history, died in Beijing on April 6, 1946, at the age of 79. Upon learning of the news, the Prime Minister immediately came to Zhang Zhizhong's home, visited his family, and asked them about their life and work, encouraging them to look forward.
After learning that Zhang Zhizhong's youngest daughter was still in a rural village in Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province, the premier immediately instructed the relevant personnel to take her back to Beijing as soon as possible and arrange a new job for her in Beijing.
A few days later, the farewell ceremony for Zhang Zhizhong's body was held in the auditorium of the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery, which was personally attended by the Prime Minister. Hong Xihou was very sad in his heart, and often looked at Zhang Zhizhong's portrait in a daze, as if he had not left ......
Zhang Zhizhong, like Hong Xihou, has a poor background. Their parents were both farmers, and Zhang Zhizhong's grandfather was also a farmer. In order to change Zhang Zhizhong's fate, his father worked hard, and even sent him to a private school when Zhang Zhi was only 6 years old.
At the age of 16, he was apprenticed to the Lud Tak Sheng shop. Later, he joined the Yangzhou Salt Suppression Private Reserve Replenishment Army, and then went to the Anqing Patrol Police Station as a backup policeman. After 3 months of training, he became a full-fledged police officer.
According to the local custom of marriage between the surnames Hong and Zhang, 17-year-old Hong Xihou married 19-year-old Zhang Zhizhong. After marriage, Zhang Zhizhong wandered outside, while Hong Xihou stayed at home to take care of his frail in-laws and young brother-in-law.
After Hong Xihou and Zhang Wenxin lost their in-laws, Hong Xihou took Zhang Wenxin back to his parents' house to live a difficult life. After graduating from the Second Preparatory School of the Army to the Third Infantry Section of the Baoding Army Military Academy, he served as the deputy chief of the General Headquarters of the National Revolutionary Army and the director of education of the Wuhan branch of the Huangpu Military Academy in the Northern Expedition, and became the director of the training department of the National Army Military Academy in July 1928.
Zhang Zhizhong had become a high-ranking officer of the Kuomintang. Although many high-ranking Kuomintang officers had three wives and four concubines, and some even chose a rich lady as their wives, Zhang Zhizhong and Hong Xihou still maintained a deep relationship.
When some dignitaries of the Kuomintang met with Zhang Zhizhong, they began to persuade him, half-jokingly, half-seriously, to divorce Hong Xihou and marry a noble-born young lady.
At first, Zhang Zhizhong just smiled and remained silent. However, as such suggestions continued to appear, Zhang Zhizhong decided to express to them that he hoped that they would no longer make such jokes, and told them seriously: "In 1929, Zhang Zhizhong was appointed as the chief of education of the ** Army Officer School in Nanjing.
During his tenure, he found that some of the trainees had various bad behaviors such as eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, so he decided to hold a plenary meeting to educate them. That day, Zhang Zhizhong brought his wife Hong Xihou to the meeting.
Because Hong Xihou was dressed plainly and looked like an old lady from the countryside, the students began to have all kinds of speculations and discussions about her. The core idea of the new copy is Zhang Zhizhong's determination to educate and maintain military discipline, as well as his unwavering support for his wife.
Zhang Zhizhong's words shocked the students present, and they listened in surprise. After he finished speaking, the entire room became silent, as if all voices were swallowed up by his power.
In the end, Zhang Zhizhong's words deeply touched everyone's hearts and quietly changed the learning atmosphere of the school.
This is the first time that Mrs. Hong Xihou has spoken, and Zhang Zhizhong was reluctant to refuse, but after thinking about it for a while, he still agreed. Since then, Hong Xihou has never asked Zhang Zhizhong for anything.
Soon after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang tore up the peace agreement and a full-scale civil war broke out. Over the course of three years, the Kuomintang army was defeated in the battles of Liaoshen, Pingjin and Huaihai, and had to "sue for peace" with the Communists.
In April 1949, the Nanjing ** peace negotiation delegation came to Beiping with Zhang Zhizhong as the chief representative and negotiated with the Communist Party delegation with *** as the chief representative.
Although the delegations of the two sides reached an agreement, at the behest of Chiang Kai-shek, Nanking refused to sign it, and the peace talks broke down. Considering that Chiang Kai-shek would not let go of Zhang Zhizhong, he kindly invited them to stay and build New China together.
However, Zhang Zhizhong was a little hesitant to stay because of his wife. In order to calm Zhang Zhizhong's heart, ** personally commanded his wife and children to be taken to Beiping.
That day, when the plane taken by Hong Xihou and others arrived in Beiping, Zhang Zhizhong said excitedly: "With your support, I decided to stay and work hard for New China together." ”
They spent the last 27 years of their lives together.
